Today I created a new graphics page on the EasyIO with the intention of having a chart and graph that tracks the changes in the values from my previous graphics page and here they are below both in CPT and in the web page.
Just like last week, this wasn't difficult. Just drag, drop, and set your preferences. Below I have screen shots showing the settings for the Chart and for the Line Graph.
The settings are similar to what was done last week the actions are just using the outputs of the Write Floats I created. The columns and lines are simply the string values that come from the outputs of those same Write Floats. Other than that I think it's really cool that I can create some simple graphics in CPT and then with a quick deploy I can view them in real-time on the web. I can see the changes live in the Meter Dashboard I created or I can go to my Trend Graph and see the changes in values via the chart or the line graph.
My professor wanted me to try what I did this and last week but with a BASpi. I thought about it and it may be possible, I just do not see a point in it. Why try to do the same thing, especially recreate the graphics on inferior hardware? I mean I could connect 2 EasyIOs together and transfer data using BACnet and then connect in a BASpi. I might be able to transfer over my program. But, again inferior hardware and I already had a bad experience working with the BASpi. Honestly, I just don't see a point as I have a hunch that my values will not be the exact same as on the EasyIO.
